It would seem pretty strange after you claim that "it's hard to tell the "real story" when you are not at the games and cannot get the scores correctly." And as I stated, I'm not trying to get you flustered and start doing anything harsh, all I was trying to do was see where your perspective comes from. It's pretty obvious you have strong ties with one team, I was just guessing Team ND becuase you felt they deserved to win. By having an association with either team gives you bias, and I was just wanting to know in an attempt to read through you bias for a more accurate story. I happen to know a few of the Grand Forks kids on the 88/89 team, or have been in the passed at least, and they gave me a very different story on how things went, so I had cause for my questions. Also, it's odd that you say "they will look foolish claiming opinions they hold to be facts, when in all reality they are not facts", as I was requesting more information on something I'd heard, quite possibly wrong, but I wanted clarification. I didn't ask to be indirectly called foolish, nor did I state anything as fact. As for my opinion, I'd say neither team has a real abundance of skill, the Team ND team had great potential if more seniors had gone out, and it could be a tough road in Chicago, but I wish them luck.
